In his presidential address, Minister P C Vanlalruata encouraged farmers and cooperators to actively pursue loan facilities under NCDC schemes, particularly in agriculture and fisheries.
He also directed the Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS) Mizoram and District Cooperative Officer (DCO) Champhai to take a proactive role in assisting stakeholders.
